How to have a Spring Break without going anywhere


I got a massage. 


I mailed all gifts and packages.




I watched some shows (binging FNL while I work on house projects/clean/grade/etc,  finished The Man in the High Castle, watching season 2 of Bosch, started and finished The Returned, keeping up with Jane the Virgin and 11.22.63).

The library was a bust. I have a pretty extensive to-read list on Goodreads and my libraries had next to nothing. I don't really like buying books, so I just kind of stall out. Thank goodness for audiobooks.

I need some new sneakers. I have some that are fine, but I think I need ones with more cushion if I'm going to be doing any kind of impact movement. These are more like court shoes.



I need a new Pilates mat. I almost always do Pilates or yoga on carpet, so thickness hasn't been an issue. But the mat I have was a gift from my cousin when I was in college. It was probably less than $20 and it's followed me from house to house for TEN years now. In fact, I specifically remember packing up my bedroom to move from Pennsylvania to Alaska and Scott handed it to me and I was all, "No...I don't need that" and he was like, "Just take it...we have a U-Haul to fill". And I moved it to four different houses before I actually started using it. I did Pilates without a mat for an entire year (again, carpeting) before realizing the mat did kind of make a difference.
Anyway. Need a new mat. Haven't gotten one yet. To-do list fail. Pilates mats are actually different than yoga mats anyway, and what I have is definitely a yoga mat.

So I checked off about half of my to-do list. I did not get a pedicure because it's snowstorming today and tomorrow. Maybe next weekend. Same with the rings.

I have made remarkable progress on the basement and I think it's getting more and more homey (is that a word?)...


So not the most exciting break, but it's better than last year when I had the flu or the year before when I had the stomach flu.

I'll take it.
